I am sorry to hear about your relationship breaking up. I went through it myself last year, and it certainly isn't an easy thing to go through. Do you remember feeling down before your relationship broke up? Have you tried to write down what triggers those feelings? I find that writing out my thoughts helps quite a bit. Writing things down that you are grateful for helps also-they serve as reminders that you are more than your anxiety and you have so many things that you CAN be grateful for. This too shall pass.

I'm sorry. Break-ups are awful. I don't know if this will work for you, but I found it helped to remind myself that I was still there, the same person despite my relationship ending. Even picturing a strong tree rooted inside my body, totally untouched by the situation, helped me feel better. Cocooning and other creature comforts also helped--so did exercise.

Hello,

I am so sorry that your relationship did not work out. Life is full of ups and downs. I remember my first real true relationship. I was engaged to be married, happiest time of my life. Preparing for the wedding. My mother in law to be even went as far as to make my wedding dress that I wanted and gave it to me for a Christmas present! - We planned on getting married after he graduated from college. - One day my youngest sister went to the state fair with some of her friends and saw my fiance' with another girl. She came home and told me. I was furious! I thought I was never going get over being hurt, angry,sad, depressed... I talked with my friends and and read my bible and prayed for help. Finally, my closest girlfriend came by my place one day get in and we are going to go to his house and straighten this out. I went up to his door had a few words to say and then left. I knew then I was going to be okay. The hurt was just going to take time to heal. Today, I will have been married to the man of my dreams this September for thirty one years. If I would have not moved forward, I would have never met my husband and probably been in sad shape. - Take one step at a time, one foot in front of the other. Make sure to communicate with your family/ friends and Chin Up!

I feel chronically down as well. It is quite difficult to go on this way. I try to get some joy out of life occassionally. Are you getting any type of treatment for your condition. Do you go to a psychiatrist? Perhaps some treatment would help.
